Cranberry Apple Buckwheat Salad

Life Around the Table

This salad is full of super nourishing foods. Buckwheat is an ancient grain high in protein and a good source of fiber. The addition of buckwheat groats upgrades this salad to make it more filling and energizing.

Simple Ingredients

Cooking Buckwheat Groats – water – raw buckwheat groats – pinch of salt Assemble The Salad – celery – green onion – apples – raw sunflower seeds – dried cranberries – baby spinach

1. Cook the buckwheat groats. (full instructions on the blog) 

2. Finely chop the celery, apple and green onion. 3. Assemble all the salad ingredients in a large bowl or platter and toss to combine. Add the dressing of your choice and enjoy!

4. Note: I dress this salad simply with a drizzle of olive oil, splash of apple cider vinegar and a few shakes of herbamare seasoning and it's delicious!
